Comment(by cnorris23):

 Yeah, they're both still used. When I actually got into Mark's patch,
 nothing was actually being eliminated, so unless I'm misinterpreting
 populate_options() in wp-admin/includes/schema.php, the widget_rss and
 widget_text options are added and set as blank as long as they do not
 already exist.

 To be honest, I'm not entirely sure why they were added at that time, as
 they were not being called by the default theme. I just took Mark's word
 for it. On top of that, they are already added a few lines up (schema.php)
 for 2.7, and I missed them. I've updated the patch.
